How we help...
Memorial Lutheran provides Kebede with money for living expenses and his salary. We also provide funds, (through our congregation), for him to do agricultural and Christian missions. We pray for the work of Kebede every week in our worship services, as well as give people the opportunity to help with our special projects. The Awassa area where Kebede works is growing rapidly. Kebede is working with the local church to establish three new missions there.
Current Needs:
$200 to train and support student evangelists at the Kofole Mission Training Center. Kofole is a mountainous area about 55 miles east of Awasa, (Kebede's home base).
$1200 to provide supplies to the Women's Programs. Workitu works with the women in her congregation to make baskets, blankets and other items. They sell these items and the money supports the work of the congregation.
Donations can be made a number of ways, by marking your offering envelope or check for "Kebede" or by turning in an "Adoption Agreement" which we have in the office. Many people have contributed to Kebede's work in honor of a loved one rather than buying another sweater...
